The Last Sentinel Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

don't do it

I don't normally wright reveIws, but this one defently desserves one.

I begain wanting this movie to simply have a slow start, but as the movie carryed on i found myself in disbelief that the director and actors would allow this movie to be publised,

from very poor acting to a even worse scriped, to some very bad action shot's,

I watched the whole movie as i wanted it to all be worth it at the end, but found it was over an hour of my time I have lost forever,

It reminded me of the 80/90s when acting and over the top action shots was normal and ecepted, but in this day and age it will be in the bargin bin with a good dvd taped to it just so you will take it. be warned, i am a big movie lover and will give most movies a chance, this one i will advise to take a wide burth on, have a good laugh at it when it's on the sci fi channel and then turn over,

happy watching

The Last Sentinel

It's probably not necessary to go into great detail to attack or defend this film. It was shot by a former stuntman who directed two other movies that same year on what I would guess was a low, made-for-cable-TV kind of budget - most of which was clearly spent on acquiring the services of cult genre actors Keith David (John Carpenter's The Thing) and Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck in the Battlestar Galactica revival).

This information alone should be enough for you to draw your own conclusions as to the film's quality.

My main reason for writing this was to address this curious statement from an earlier reviewer:

'...It reminded me of the 80/90s when acting and over the top action shots was normal and ecepted, but in this day and age it will be in the bargin bin...'

I'm not entirely sure I can decipher every aspect of that strange sentence, ('...when acting was normal...' - Eh?) but anyone who loves action movies knows that the 80s/early 90s was the golden era for the genre. The Sentinel might well be comparable to the straight-to-video clag of that (or any subsequent) time, but in no way is it on a par with such classics as The Terminator, Die Hard, Predator, Total Recall, Robocop or many other 80s/90s movies I could mention. These films are miles ahead of the watered-down, teen-friendly dross that constitutes much of modern cinema's action output. - M
